   Rep: 1536

   Kirk, you already fiecked up once on grand scale: some swamp rats bated you (Wolfers, Card, Hoynes, Curie) and you overreacted by deleting informative old threads and knowledge that we have worked here hard to assemble. Then you overreacted by deleting in real time everything that might potentially offend the swamp rats.
   What you cannot understand, Kirk, is that the users of EJMR do not come here because EJMR is anti-racist, anti-mysoginist, environmental, vegan site. Users come here for the INFORMATION. You delete the information, be it old or new, you will not have any users in a heart beat.
   Evidence that you are burying yourself and the EJMR is that this site has become completely empty. 2 years ago and back when I came here, I did not know on which thread to go, everything was interesting. Nowadays, I come, and the first page is the meh, nothing, really nothing. I have more interesting discussions at a faculty meeting than here.
   With this new idiotic change of heart of yours, you will completely bury yourself, and completely obliterate EJMR.

   Wiki is busier it's ever been for this time of year
   Pageviews is up 15-20% yoy

   The site isn't always going to be the same

   What old knowledge was deleted?

   Can we have access to the list of words? Recently the bot deleted my completely serious post with some econ content, and I could not figure out which words were flagged.

   What was the title of the post?

   We need to see the word list otherwise compliance is too difficult.

   My issue is that there have been times where I have made (or read) posts purely about economics, and they were bot autodeleted. For example, I remember that the OP in this thread was bot autodeleted:

   https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/so-loss-aversion-isnt-real-1

   But the post did nothing except give an SSRN link and copy an abstract of a forthcoming paper.

   I guess that is clear to everyone.
   Likely Kirk got scared by something,

   Kirk,
   This is not going to do anything to peas the establishment at AEA. They are going after your site, not because the bs about sexism or whatever. It is because your site allows the corruption scandals to reach a level that has never been seen before. If your site does not allow their scandals to be spread, they wouldn't care about sexist or racism.
   Yours truly.

   The reality is that EJMR is mainstream now, if we wish to maintain that position

   This is a mistake, ejmr is what it is, there are already enough mainstream sites.

   So if I post something that the list flags as racist/sexist, but in fact wasn’t, then my IP is stored unless I appeal? Am I reading this correctly?

   If you post something that violates this set of keywords your IP will be stored and you will be blocked from future posting.

    Good to know. Will IPs that are banned for false positives be unbanned without appeals?

    How do you distinguish between sex and sexist?
    Between naughty sex and sexist?
    Between male dom sex and sexist?

    Are Econ bros not allowed to have such aspects to their lives?

    No it doesn't. It's evaluated at the time of posting. Only if you violate then it's stored. Won't apply to 99.99%.

    I just home ejmr just doesn't become a glorified version of /badecon. I hope these changes are for the better but if I get a twitter-econ vibe to this new chapter; I will move on to other things.

    Reminder; the roots of this are all the fault of the people who discussed and mentioned ejmr to the general public as opposed to a closed niche. This is why I will never respect Noah

    Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender. Sexism can affect either gender, but it is particularly documented as affecting women and girls.[1] It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles,[2][3] and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another.[4] Extreme sexism may foster sexual harassment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence.[5]

    So sexism and sexist are banned, but what about sexy?

    Good job, Kirk.

    I am a vlrm who was quite bothered by the sexist/racist stuff here.

    EJMR has, I believe, a great role - job wiki, journal wiki, calling out mistakes or shady behaviours (whether they are by HRM, men or not) etc. - but the filo-Breitbart posters detract from this mission.

    I also believe that we could also learn something by other disciplines: on the ps and sociology websites, I have often read useful AMA by HRM, journal editors etc. This could help the profession too, especially those at the beginning of their academic career.

    Thanks for taking care of the commons.

    An AP doesn't deserve sex.

    Can we still give a shout out to our fav "Marxist-feminist-anti-racist-ecological economist, specializing in women, gender, feminism, and work, and involved in research about and promotion of the emerging solidarity economy" economist?
